Curious about the result of the 1518, 2499 and 5711/1p.

Maverick_1908 · 11 December 2019, 09:03 AM

2001jesper · 11 December 2019, 09:17 AM

Thought it would go for a little more. Some even thought it could beat the 17 m PN

IAN1 · 11 December 2019, 09:35 AM

Kermit $35k. Wow

subtona · 11 December 2019, 09:48 AM

5950A... mmmmmm

Ssunnylee24 · 11 December 2019, 09:53 AM

1.61m LOL

Wiener48 · 11 December 2019, 09:58 AM

Auction is running strong...

mmaggi · 11 December 2019, 10:20 AM

5517 - $220k

77T · 11 December 2019, 10:31 AM

Jack Nicklaus' Rolex Day-Date did sell for $1 Million ($1.2 Million including the buyers premium).

Within the hour, Marlon Brando's 'Apocalypse Now' GMT beat it at $1.6 Million ($1,952,000 including the buyers premium).

This is about as much as I predicted and I did expect the GMT to trump the DD.

I think it sold for less than the msrp of the new gold Speedmaster

Chewbacca · 11 December 2019, 01:35 PM

Wow! These numbers can’t be what they expected. It’s light. Really light.

I thought Jack would get $3m min and Marlon $5m

I’m no expert but when they say far north of six, they multiply by a lot.

Sandpit · 11 December 2019, 02:30 PM

The fact that so called “experts” only a day or two ago were predicting Jack’s watch to beat the Paul Newman watch is honestly laughable. It went for a lot less than I expected but to think it would reach up to $15m?

GoingPlaces · 11 December 2019, 02:44 PM

I too think these numbers are a bit light. Jack’s watch is a steal at 1MM.

I think these numbers were high, even though they were less than many predicted. Paul Newman Daytona aside (the nicknamesake of one of the most popular watches), I don’t quite understand the appeal to collectors. Unless you happen to be a huge golf, Nicklaus, and Rolex fan...what exactly is the appeal or significance of his watch?!
I understand he wore it for decades, but he isn’t a collector, and there is no real connection to Rolex history, nor is it rare.

Went for less than I expected - given the price of Newman's Daytona. Then, what do I know!

Agree, I thought they would fetch a few million, maybe this auction is 6 months too late to cash in on the hype and too distant from the PN auction, you need at least two FOMO bidders going at it, not cool rationality.

uncleluck · 11 December 2019, 11:10 PM

It was funny to watch the auctioneer getting a bit shirty over $10k increments, $10k is a lot of money and kind of annoyed me a bit when he was talking down to the staff (and by proxy the bidders) over the ‘small’ sums.

The fact that they were at a point and ‘only’ going up $10k at a time shows that nobody valued it where the auction house did, it was at the limit the two people who wanted it were willing to pay.

Chiboy · 11 December 2019, 11:30 PM

Hmmm. Nothing against Jack Nicklaus, and I would have hoped for charity that it would fetch more, but perhaps every A list or B list celeb will no longer think their association with a watch adds so much to the value of the watch.

subtona · 12 December 2019, 01:23 AM

I would rather have my fathers watch over that of a celebrity.

But what if your fathers watch was first that of a celebrity? So Brando then your father's then yours then your child's?

jfmiii · 12 December 2019, 02:19 AM

The price realized on Jack's watch has to be incredibly disappointing. 1) it was for charity; 2) it is the watch worn by the greatest golfer who ever lived for the last 50 years while he won Major after Major. there are a lot of rich golf fanatics and rich rolex collectors. that combination shouldve brought major coin. it didnt. i read that people were telling Jack that they expected it to go for close, if not more than, 8 figures.

jlevitt9 · 12 December 2019, 02:22 AM

If I'm Jack I buy the watch back. I wonder if he had known the final price, if he wouldn't have even put it up for auction and just donated $1MM himself.

Josh1000 · 12 December 2019, 02:32 AM

are you asking if i would lead with, the watch belonged to a celebrity vs sharing that the watch was my fathers, marking special family occasions?

what would you do?
